Planning & Zoning Board November 12, 1997 • Page 9 • D. Lino Lakes Bank, 7449 Village Drive, Site Plan Review Mr. Brixius explained that within the Villace Center Mr. John Milbauer proposes construction of a 3248 - square -foot building to house the new Lino Lakes Bank. The site for this building is the corner of Town Center Parkway and Lake Drive. This property is zoned Limited Business, and the proposed use of this site is permitted within that zoning classification. Mr. Brixius reviewed the requirements for construction of the Bank, stating that the lot area and width exceed the required minimum size. He added that while the proposed setbacks (20 feet from Village Drive and a 10 -foot parking lot setback) do not conform with minimum Ordinance requirements, they are consistent with the draft architectural guidelines to be applied to the Town Center. Because the architectural guidelines have yet to be formally adopted, the processing of setback variances will be necessary. Based on the preceding review, Mr. Brixius indicated that Staff recommends approval of the Lino Lakes Bank site and building plans subject to the following conditions: 1. The City approve variances from the minimum 30 -foot yard setback applied to principal buildings in LB Zoning Districts, as well as from the minimum 15 -foot parking lot setback. 2. The submitted landscape plan is subject to review and approval by the Town Center Architectural Review Committee, City Forester, and CPTED Officer. 3. Site and building plans are subject to review and approval by the Town Center Architectural Review Committee including a determination that the minimum 50% facade guideline has been satisfied. 4. Consideration is given to providing a vehicular bypass opportunity for drive - through bank teller users. Such provision may be accommodated via a designated "ATM" lane or involve the reservation of an unattended teller as a bypass lane. 5. The site plan is revised to illustrate a designated off - street loading space. 6. Exterior lighting is arranged to reflect light away from adjoining properties. As per the Town Center Design Guidelines, light fixtures should give due attention to both function and aesthetics. 7. A detailed sign plan is submitted subject to City approval. 8. A grading and drainage plan is submitted subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. • Mr. Johnson asked if similar plans had been approved for the proposed Fairview Clinic. Mr. Brixius responded that they had.
